Louis Althusser by Warren Montag

The publication of Louis Althusser's autobiography, The Future Lasts Forever, shattered the myth of Althusser as austere structural Marxist.
'Warren Montag is in my view the most insightful and knowledgeable reader of Althusser and his circleIn this book Montag not only demonstrates the continuing relevance of Althusser's work for literary studies, but also argues convincingly that Althusser's meditations on art, literature, and theater are actually at the center of his philosophy as a whole. Montag frees Althusser's work from the old and sterile polemics about Althusserianism and shows us why it is still vital and important today.' - Michael Hardt, Duke University 'A brief yet comprehensive overview of the life and work of Althusser.' - M. A. Martinez-Saenz, Choice
WARREN MONTAG is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Occidental College, Los Angeles.
